Create a requirements traceability matrix.

A requirements traceability matrix captures all requirements and their traceability in one spot. If you track requirements in Microsoft Office, you'll spend hours putting a traceability matrix together.

But with Helix RM, creating a requirements traceability matrix takes minutes. That frees you up to focus on the important stuff, like test coverage analysis and root cause analysis.

How to Do an Impact Analysis

Doing an impact analysis helps you effectively manage requirements.

How will you know what will happen if a requirement changes? Do an impact analysis.

Impact analysis helps you understand the impact of requirement change on related requirements (and test cases). This is especially valuable for managing your development schedule and maintaining product quality.

With Helix RM, doing an impact analysis is easy. That's because you'll be tracking requirements and linking them with other development artifacts. When a requirement changes, you'll know exactly which items need to be reviewed.

That means you'll have minimal risk and meet your requirements — every time.

Who Collaborates on Requirements?

Requirements management in software engineering is all about communication.

So, share requirements with everyone who needs to be in the know.

Work together on requirements.

Helix RM makes it easy for stakeholders across your organization to collaborate on requirements:

Business analysts

Product owners

Project managers

Engineers

Quality assurance managers

Stakeholders can make comments in real-time — from work, home, or on the road. You can even export requirements documents to Microsoft Word for customers or stakeholders who don't have Helix RM.

Because everyone will be working from the latest version of requirements, you'll have fewer surprises — and less rework.

Get approval on requirements.

Need to reach consensus, know who has reviewed requirements and, more importantly, who you are waiting on? Helix RM keeps communication flowing and can even nag unresponsive stakeholders. Your requirements documents will always achieve sign-off.

Requirements Management Tools for Jira

Are you tracking bugs and managing tasks in Jira? Great — you can keep using Jira (and get more out of it) by adding a requirements management tool. (Because, let's face it, using Jira for requirements doesn't work.)

Helix RM seamlessly integrates with Jira. That means you’ll be able to link requirements to Jira issues — and vice versa. No matter which tool you’re in, you’ll be able to see the status of your requirements and issues.
